Welcome to “Paddle Royale”, a new chill competition genre where you need to find an island faster than anybody. It’s super zen, and super fun. The competition resets every day, and it's time-based: You can join and race whenever you want! But that’s not all. You are given a Home Island that you can improve and customise at will! Start by building something, planting some trees, or modifying the landscape. Then you can go fishing, wander around the ocean, collect wood to craft items, or just relax. Anything you can think of, can be done. And we are constantly improving it with new content! Some tasks you can do to relax: • Decorate your island with 100+ items. • Grow your own crops: Corn, grapes, peaches... • Modify the layout of your island. • Collect wood and stone to craft cool items. • Complete daily jobs to get rewards. • Go explore the ocean. • Fish and catch many species. • Much more! We carefully crafted 1sland to make the whole game a really zen experience, and we are super excited to hear your feedback. Join our fantastic community on Discord: https://discord.gg/qumxEVz2Fa
